Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

Morocco, Marrakech.

Ingrid Bergman once filmed "Casablanca" in this country, which was rated as "the top [-] love movies in film history". I can't help but yearn for the golden age of Hollywood, and I can't sleep because of the complex emotions described in the movie.

But it was the first time she set foot on this land in person.

Morocco is known as the "Garden of North Africa". The towering Atlas Mountains block between the country and the Sahara Desert. The climate here is pleasant all year round, and the temperature in early July is only around 20 degrees Celsius.Originally, there was little rain in summer, but it seemed that the program group was coming. It rained very rarely in the first two days, which added some moisture to the dry air.

The program group only arranged four meeting points in this round, respectively in the "Red City" Marrakech, "Atlantic Bride" Casablanca, "Royal City" Rabat and "Blue Town" Chefchaouen.These four rendezvous points allow the audience to freely appreciate the various styles of the North African gardens, but for the contestants who are short on resources, they can only look at other cities and get greedy.

Jennifer was assigned to the first meeting point.

From the moment we got off the plane, all we saw along the way were red and ochre, and all the buildings had a strong exotic style.

The driver who drove the car spoke not-so-fluent English, but it was obvious that he often received tourists, and even drove her around several ancient scenic spots skillfully in poor traffic conditions.They circled outside Djemaa Djemaa, leaving behind the hustle and bustle that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.The Koutoubia Mosque can be seen from a distance.It is said that when Yakub El Mansur made it, he added nearly ten thousand bags of precious spices to the top of the tower, which made the whole mosque exude a unique fragrance, so people also called it "fragrant tower".

Staying at the Four Seasons Hotel that night, this superior environment is like the last meal before the guillotine in the Middle Ages, which made Jennifer call the show crew "intentions are sinister".

Had a good night's sleep.

On the second day, all the players gathered at the Menara Garden not far from the hotel. The staff erected seven or eight temporary buildings here a few weeks in advance, part of which was used as a base camp for monitoring the status of the players, and part of which was used for logistical medical treatment , the last one is the medical examination center.

Players report, enter, and perform physical examinations in the physical examination center as usual.It is said to be a test, but it is actually a process.Everyone knew that for the sake of fairness, all the contestants who entered the third round were injected with a small dose of black bear medicine, and almost all of them were at their peak in the past three months.

Jennifer watched as the staff stamped the inspection certificate, and then took out an orange ring of life from a nearby cabinet.

Her eyes froze slightly—orange.

In the first two rounds, everyone wore a standard white life ring, but this time they were issued orange.Looking into the cabinet again, all the equipment is either orange, red, or brown, and the player who walked out before is still wearing yellow.All of a sudden, it changed from white to colorful, which is quite a meaning of trying to cover up.

Although the staff repeatedly explained that the color change was due to the upgrade of the life ring, and the colors assigned to each person were random, but Jennifer already believed that this was related to the reptile potion.She buckled the equipment calmly, and turned to the next logistics location with her player ID.

The logistics department prepared clothes and backpacks according to the old rules.

In the third round, both male and female contestants were given loose skirt robes. This straight white robe can effectively form a pathway for heat dissipation. With the addition of an assault jacket, long turban and magic turban, it can almost cope with forty or fifty degrees. Terrible temperature.Down below are thick socks that reach down to the calf and desert hiking shoes.Ordinary hiking shoes will continuously infiltrate fine sand when walking, and in the end there is no other way but to cut the mesh, but special shoes do not have this trouble.

After changing, Jennifer checks her backpack.

In the bag were an outdoor knife, a small camera, three bottles of 550ml water, two compressed biscuits, and even flint and steel for making fire.In addition to these resources, two retractable trekking poles are inserted on both sides of the backpack, and the matching sand supports are placed in the outer interlayer.

This set of luxurious equipment not only did not reassure her, but made her feel anxious——

How terrifying is the task of the third round, that the program team needs to take such painstaking efforts to ensure that the contestants will not be eliminated as soon as they come up?

Jennifer looked at each other bitterly with the other contestants. There was no mediocrity who could make it to this level. Everyone obviously realized that the good days were over, and the next one might be a hellish life.

The answer will be revealed soon.

The temporary building on the outermost side of the Menara Garden is the live broadcast center, where a large number of photography and live broadcast installations are arranged.

The host Jimmy Fallon (also affectionately called "Fat Lun" by fans in some countries) stood on the stage, wiping the sweat from his forehead and nose in a very exaggerated and funny way.He was wearing a loose floral shirt, white trousers, a hood on his head, and flip flops on his feet, giving him a casual look.

After the contestants were seated, he gushed out one-liners.

Jennifer is finally not the focus of the firepower this time. The jokes are repeatedly added to the last round of the show-stopping couples of brothers and plastic sisters. , and the "World's Strongest Teammate" who risked his life to save Jin Jian.

After teasing one pair after another, Fei Lun finally turned his firepower to Jennifer.While Jacob Rodriguez wasn't here, Kevin Wilson was with her at the first rendezvous.The well-informed Iron Lady stood still, but the big boy who entered the third round as a fill-in player was blushed by the experienced Fat Lun, wishing he could get into the ground on the spot.

"Tell me about the rules, Jimmy." Jennifer could only help out, "I believe everyone can't wait."

This remark sparked enthusiastic applause from the crowd.

Fei Lun made a zipper movement on his mouth, and then turned on the holographic projection, showing the map of the whole of Africa in front of everyone.

"The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It has a long history and a harsh climate. It is known as the 'most inhospitable place on earth'. We are here now." He pointed to the corner on the northwest side of the continent, "Slightly You will be released here later." He pointed to the west of the whole desert.

Anticipating this tragedy, the contestants only complained symbolically, but most of them looked ugly.

The desert is one of the most hated terrains for survivors. The temperature here can easily cause dehydration or heat stroke during the day, and the temperature at night can cause people to freeze and catch a cold.Some areas have almost no easy-to-find water sources, while others are more barren, with no vegetation at all, just endless yellow sand.And if that wasn't bad enough, the occasional sandstorm can turn even the most seasoned survivalist into a tizzy.

Fei Lun satisfactorily admired the expressions on everyone's faces for a while, and finally mercifully adjusted the projection, showing a series of photos of plants and animals that flashed by.Then some green dots were highlighted on the screen, indicating that these are inhabited places.He continued:

"A total of 400 people participated in the third round, and there are 100 contestants at the first meeting point. You will not be divided into groups—"

Before the words were finished, the expressions of the contestants who had different thoughts suddenly changed.

"No one divides you into groups," Fei Lun continued, "no one plans your route, or even decides what you should do. The time limit for the third round is three months, and all players will find their own opportunities , I decided to go, just to complete a task—"

"Photographed 100 species of animals that live in the desert."

and many more? !

What did you just say? !

Want to photograph 100 animals? !

Everyone was in an uproar, and even Jennifer felt a little hallucinating.

Everyone knows what kind of special environment the Sahara Desert is. Although it is not the most barren eastern desert, and I have heard of some animals living in the desert, this task is simply too difficult.In a place where life is threatened every minute and every second, let alone 100 kinds, it is estimated that shooting 30 kinds is not enough.

Immediately someone asked: "How do you count as one species? Are spiders counted as one species, or are two different types of spiders counted as one species?"

"The latter." The host replied.

The contestants who had been immersed in shock were slightly relieved.

"I won't lie and say this task is easy." Falun said gently, "This will be the longest and hardest challenge you have ever undertaken. All 400 contestants who entered the third round can only have Half wins, don't laugh, and don't rush to relax, you are all wilderness masters selected from 5000 people, it is much more difficult to beat one professional than ten amateurs."

This is true.

The further you go to the later levels, the harder it is to win.

Jennifer wrapped the magic headscarf around her wrist, and listened carefully to some scattered rule additions. After the opening ended, they put on their headscarves and boarded the helicopter according to the order of the list, and were sent to the desert through a random positioning procedure. landing point.

The temperature at the western and eastern foot of the Atlas Mountains is completely incomparable.

The helicopter flew southeast, and the heat wave slowly invaded the cabin.Not long after boarding the plane, Jennifer felt that her lips were dry and sweat was dripping on her forehead. She couldn't help but feel glad that she had just drank enough water in the base camp.

When flying above the calibration point, the helicopter began to descend and finally landed in the sand.Until then, the hood on Jennifer's head was removed by the staff.The program team didn't want any contestant to see their position from a height, that would be an inadvertent cheating.

The heat of the desert came from all directions the second she stepped on the ground, and the sun above her head scorched her entire body, not a single inch of her skin felt that she was not losing moisture.

Jennifer wrapped the hijab right away.

After making one final confirmation that the ring of life was working, the crew opened the box in the cabin and released her camera crew.Several original golden-red cameras were painted with new sun-proof coatings. From a distance, this is almost the only cool thing in this sandy field.

Unit [-] moved closer to her body, and she took a deep breath, feeling that her entire lungs were burning on fire.

The helicopter took off slowly.

"It's 100 degrees Fahrenheit right now," the worker yelled before leaving. "Good luck, ma'am!"
